How long does a roof replacement take?

A standard asphalt shingle roof on a single-family home takes one to three days. Metal, tile and slate take three days to two weeks.

Can you roof over existing shingles?

Most codes allow two layers total. Overlaying saves $1–$2 per square foot now but hides deck rot and shortens the new roof's life.
